Massachusetts State Police arrest man on numerous firearm, motor vehicle and drug charges

On Wednesday December 4 at approximately 1 p.m. Trooper Feras Irqsusi, assigned to the Troop H Community Action Team, was on patrol on Blue Hill Parkway in Milton. At that time he observed the operator of a BMW sedan continuously using a handheld electronic device and drifting into the bicycle lane on several occasions.

Trooper Irqsusi activated his blue lights and stopped the BMW shortly after. As Trooper Irqsusi exited the cruiser Officer Joseph Marinilli of the Milton Police Department stopped on scene to assist. The trooper and officer then approached the BMW and identified the operator as LAMONT BROOKINS, 20, of Dorchester.

After informing BROOKINS why he was stopped Trooper Irqsusi gathered his license and registration then returned to the cruiser to conduct an RMV inquiry. The results of the inquiry revealed BROOKINS’ license was suspended. Trooper Irqsusi approached BROOKINS again and informed him he needed to exit the vehicle as it was going to be towed from the scene due to his license status.

BROOKINS began arguing with the trooper and refused to exit the vehicle. Trooper Irqsusi believed BROOKINS was attempting to flee the scene then took control of his hands through the window while Officer Marinilli entered the vehicle from the passenger side. BROOKINS was removed from the vehicle and began to struggle and reach for an interior pocket in his pants.

They were able to secure BROOKINS in handcuffs and located a loaded Ruger .380 pistol with an extended magazine in the area of the pocket BROOKINS was reaching for. BROOKINS does not possess a license to carry firearms. He was advised he was under arrest and secured in the rear of a cruiser.

A subsequent inventory of the vehicle located an additional magazine and ammunition along with nearly two ounces of Marijuana. The vehicle was towed and BROOKINS was transported to State Police-Milton for booking. A clerk set bail at $3,500. He was arraigned at Quincy DC the next morning on the following charges:

1. Illegal Possession of a Firearm;
2. Carrying a Loaded Firearm;
3. Possession of a Large Capacity Feeding Device;
4. Improper Storage of a Firearm;
5. Possession of Ammunition without FID Card;
6. Possession of a Class D Substance with Intent to Distribute;
7. Operating a Motor Vehicle with a Suspended License;
